Review of Who Told You That You Were Naked?
[Following is a volunteer review of "Who Told You That You Were Naked?" by William Combs.]
Who Told You That You Were Naked: A Refreshing Reexamination of the Garden of Eden, is non-fiction, written by William E. Combs. The author is a retired priest of the Presbyterian Church. This beautiful work of art gives the reader a brand-new perspective on popular Christian ideologies. This book begins with the popular story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. William explains his opinion of what transpired in the Garden. Man through his thoughts and actions disobeyed God, and this was the origin of sin in the world.
The presence of sin in mankind caused the destruction of the relationship man had with God, also known as spiritual death. However, God made provision for the redemption of mankind through his Son, Jesus Christ. A man is saved from sin and justified in the sight of God through belief in Jesus Christ. As well, the Holy Ghost helps man have a close relationship with God. This book contains stories about popular characters in the Bible, such as Abraham and Moses. These stories are expressed through the unique perspective of the author.
I am deeply spiritual; hence, I enjoyed this book immensely. The opinions expressed in this book are unique and refreshing. For instance, William stipulates that the desire of Adam and Eve to become like God was not an antagonistic craving; rather, it was the highest compliment they could pay to their loving heavenly Father. This book is well-organized. It has ten chapters, and each chapter ends with a question. These questions cause a reader to reflect on the issues that are examined in the chapter.
In this book, William explains complex spiritual concepts in such a way that a layman will easily understand them. For instance, in chapter six of this book, he explains how faith sets us free from a life of sin and death. In chapter nine, William explains how we can rest in the finished works of Jesus Christ. The concepts that are explained in chapters six and nine are difficult concepts to understand even for mature Christians; however, William explains them clearly. This book is exceptionally edited; I did not find any errors in it. Another positive feature of this book is that William involves personal experiences throughout the text to clarify the issues that are examined in the book.
I did not notice any faults in this book; consequently, I rate it 4 out of 4 stars. I recommend this book to Christians who want to improve their understanding of the Christian doctrine.
